In Loving Memory of Leonard "Lenny" DeMarco, Sr.

Leonard "Lenny" DeMarco, Sr.

Leonard “Lenny” DeMarco, Sr., 67, of the Tripps Park Section of Scranton and formerly of Dunmore, died Thursday after a long battle with cancer. Leonard is survived by his devoted wife, Monica Cupina DeMarco. The couple celebrated their 46th wedding anniversary on April 12th.

Born in Scranton, son of the late Patrick J. and Julia Hatchko DeMarco, Sr., he was a 1965 graduate of Dunmore High School and went on to serve in the United States Air Force Security Service during the Vietnam War. Upon returning, he was employed at Grossman’s Lumber, Wickes Lumber and Stanley Door Systems, and additionally drove for Red Top Cab of Scranton. Lenny was a life member of the V.F.W. Post 5209 in North Scranton, where he served as Commander, as well as numerous other positions. Before he was stricken ill, he was either at the Post or could be found at “The Cabin,” enjoying his passions: hunting, fishing, and spending time with the “Bearded Bastards.” He was also a die-hard New York Yankees fan.

Lenny is also survived by his four children, Julieanne Lewis and husband Ryan of Scranton; Leonard, Jr. and wife Kimberly of Jermyn; Nicholas and fiancee Kathy Knott of Jessup; and Elizabeth Vohar and husband Joseph of Manassas, VA; grandchildren, Tiffany Amber DeMarco, Leonard DeMarco III, Ryan Daniel Lewis II, and Reid Anderson Lewis; two brothers, Ronald and wife Ann of Mount Cobb; and Robert and wife Joann of Scranton; nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his brother, Patrick DeMarco, Jr.

The funeral will be Monday from the Carlucci-Golden-DeSantis Funeral Home, Inc., 318 E. Drinker St., Dunmore, with mass at 11 a.m. in the Mary, Mother of God Parish at Holy Rosary Church, 316 William St., North Scranton. Interment to follow in Fairview Memorial Park, Elmhurst Township.

Friends may call Sunday from 5-8 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, Lenny would want you to put on your favorite sunglasses, listen to your favorite song, and have a drink in honor of his family.

Monica, sorry for the loss of Lenny. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and you family.

Monica we would like to extend our Condolences and Sympathy to you and your family during this time of sorrow with the passing of Lenny. Your in our hearts and prayers.
I will put my sunglasses on and have a drink.
I always seem to remember driving around with Lenny in his father's red Ford wagon with the radio playing " I can't get no satisfaction from the Rolling Stones "
And him laying down two strips of rubber in front of my mother's house with a big white Oldsmobile...
Rest In Peace Lenny...

We'll Take It From Here.......Reply #8 on : Sun April 26, 2015, 09:46:25

With a Heavy Heart I write this. Lenny was a very special man. He was with me when I shot my 1st buck and taught me how to hunt, he was my driver in my 1st marriage and showed me the value of Family. My deepest sympathys are extended to his family and friends......We Lost Someone Special. My biggest regret is loosing contact as life took us down separate paths and hunting camps in different directions. Lenny I Will FOREVER Miss You Brother and will always hold your Laughter dear to my Heart. Later, Not Goodbye! Jim

Monica, my condolences to you and your family. May you remember all the good, hold each other with love. I will put on sunglasses, listen to country music and drink a hot "cupps" tea and hold you all in my thoughts..

Good timesReply #5 on : Sat April 25, 2015, 10:57:51

Len was just the person I needed at the time and place we met in Japan. He introduced me to one of those small pleasures in life - Pepperoni - which I would have eventually discovered anyway, but wouldn't have the same great memories about if it weren't for Rooms. I remember many great times together; the combination of his sense of humor and my penchant for practical jokes produced several rousing events of shock and laughter for many people. There is an empty place in my heart now; but still some great memories in my brain. Thank you Rooms! RIP. My condolences to Monica and family; wish I were there to give you a hug.

So sorry on the loss of Lenny, he was great guy. I remember him and my older brother hanging out in highschool and teasing the heck out of me and my girlfriends. He will be missed! RIP Lenny.
